What is Input Tax Credit (ITC)?

Input Tax Credit (ITC) is the GST paid by a business on purchases, expenses and inward supplies that can be used to reduce GST liability on sales. Instead of paying GST on the entire output tax amount, eligible businesses can claim credit for GST already paid on business-related purchases.

ITC plays an important role in reducing tax costs and avoiding cascading taxation. However, GST law prescribes specific rules for how available credit can be adjusted across different tax heads. This tool is useful for:

IGST (Integrated GST)

IGST is levied on inter-state supplies of goods or services and on imports into India. IGST credit is the most flexible ITC head. It is used first against IGST liability and the remaining balance can be used against CGST, SGST or UTGST liability as permitted.

account_balance

CGST (Central GST)

CGST is levied by the Central Government on intra-state supplies and is collected along with SGST. CGST credit is first used against CGST liability. Once IGST credit is fully exhausted, remaining CGST credit may be used against IGST liability. CGST credit cannot be used to pay SGST or UTGST liability.

SGST (State GST)

SGST is levied by the State Government on intra-state supplies and is collected along with CGST. SGST credit is first used against SGST liability. Once IGST credit is fully exhausted, remaining SGST credit may be used against IGST liability. SGST credit cannot be used to pay CGST liability.

flag

UTGST (Union Territory GST)

UTGST applies in place of SGST in union territories such as Chandigarh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Lakshadweep and Ladakh. UTGST credit follows the same broad treatment as SGST credit. It is used against UTGST liability first and can then be used against IGST liability as permitted.

Note: This calculator does not check blocked credits under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act. Exclude ineligible ITC such as blocked motor vehicle credit, food and beverage credit, works contract credit used for construction, club membership and other restricted credits before entering your ITC balance.

Example of ITC Calculation with Adjustment

The following example shows how BUSY's ITC Calculator applies ITC set-off rules to reduce cash outflow.

Tax Payable (Output GST)

IGST
₹12,000
CGST
₹10,000
SGST
₹10,000

Input Tax Credit (Available)

IGST Credit
₹18,000
CGST Credit
₹3,000
SGST Credit
₹4,000

Adjustment Process

Use IGST Credit to pay IGST: ₹12,000 → Balance IGST credit
₹6,000
Use remaining IGST credit for CGST: ₹6,000 → Balance CGST payable
₹4,000
Use CGST own credit ₹3,000 → Final CGST payable
₹1,000
SGST: ₹10,000 – SGST credit ₹4,000 → Final SGST payable
₹6,000

Final Payable

IGST
₹0
CGST
₹1,000
SGST
₹6,000
Total Cash Outflow
₹7,000

This structured adjustment reduces the total cash payment to ₹7,000 against a gross GST liability of ₹32,000. The calculator gives you this result instantly, without manual spreadsheet work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about the ITC Calculator.

What is the BUSY ITC Calculator?

BUSY's ITC Calculator is a free online tool that shows how available Input Tax Credit can be adjusted against GST liabilities under IGST, CGST and SGST. It helps accounts teams and GST filers estimate the exact cash amount payable before filing GSTR-3B.

How does the ITC Calculator work?

You enter GST payable and available ITC for each tax head. The calculator applies IGST credit first and then adjusts CGST and SGST credits as per the permitted set-off logic. The output shows net cash payable and any unused ITC balance.

Why is the order of ITC utilisation important?

The order matters because GST credit cannot be used freely across all tax heads. IGST credit must be exhausted first. CGST credit cannot be used for SGST liability, and SGST credit cannot be used for CGST liability. Following the correct order helps avoid excess cash outflow, short payment, and errors while finalising GSTR-3B.

Who should use this calculator?

GST-registered businesses, accounts teams, tax consultants and Chartered Accountants can use this calculator before preparing or reviewing GSTR-3B. It is useful when credit is available under multiple tax heads and the final cash payment needs to be checked.

Can this calculator help reduce GST cash payment?

Yes. It helps you use eligible ITC before depositing GST in cash. This can reduce unnecessary cash outflow, especially when there is a high IGST credit balance that can be adjusted against more than one liability head.

Does the calculator show unused ITC?

Yes. The Tax Credit Summary shows credit used and remaining ITC balance. This is useful when credit under one head exceeds the current period liability and the unused eligible balance needs to be carried forward.

Is this calculator useful before filing GSTR-3B?

Yes. You can use it before finalising GSTR-3B to check your net cash liability after ITC adjustment. This helps avoid both excess cash deposit and short payment.

Do I need to account for RCM liability separately?

Yes. GST payable under Reverse Charge Mechanism must be paid in cash and cannot be adjusted using ITC at the time of payment. Once paid, eligible RCM tax may become ITC subject to GST conditions.

Are blocked credits under Section 17(5) included?

No. The calculator does not identify blocked credits under Section 17(5). Remove ineligible ITC before entering the available credit amount, such as blocked motor vehicle credit, food and beverage credit, club membership credit, and restricted works contract credit.

Do I need a login or account to use this calculator?

No. BUSY's ITC Calculator is free to use on the web without registration or login.

How does this connect with BUSY Accounting Software?

BUSY helps with purchase records, GST reports, GSTR reconciliation and GST payment workflows. The ITC Calculator acts as a quick pre-filing check before you finalise GST payment in your accounting system.
